PROPERTY adviser Christie + Co has booked in for business.

Acting on behalf of Starwood Capital’s Louvre Hotels, Christie + Co is marketing the company’s UK group of 18 hotels – comprising 17 Campanile branded properties and one Première Classe branded premises.

The hotels, which are a mixture of freehold and long leasehold sites, are spread across the UK and include ones in Bradford, Doncaster, Hull and Wakefield.

The 18 hotels comprise almost 1,600 bedrooms in total.

The purpose-built, 130-bedroom Campanile Bradford features a 60-cover restaurant, a bar, 10 meeting rooms with total capacity for more than 300, and a car park.

Sited close to the Keepmoat Stadium, just south of Doncaster town centre, the 49-bedroom Campanile Doncaster features a 36-cover restaurant, a bar and terrace, a meeting room with total capacity for 30 and a car park with a park and fly service to Doncaster Airport.

Prominently positioned near the city’s harbour, the 48-bedroom Campanile Hull benefits from a separate 38-cover restaurant, a bar, a meeting room with a total capacity for 20, and a car park.

The purpose-built, 77-bedroom Campanile Wakefield, which is located on a well-established business park, features a 46-cover restaurant, a bar and terrace, a meeting room with a total capacity for 25 and a large car park.

Campanile is Louvre Hotels’ leading two-star chain, operating in nine European countries through a network of more than 380 hotels and restaurants.

Jeremy Jones, director at Christie + Co, said: “The opportunity to acquire over 1,500 bedrooms in some of the UK’s best trading locations is something of a rarity. To secure a leading flag on these assets by means of a management contract with Louvre Hotels makes this deal even more exciting.

“We anticipate a strong response reflecting the quality of the opportunity and the ability to keep growing one of Europe’s best known hotel brands.”
